Very meta there, Apjp.

Speaking in general terms, is an apologist for an apologist by necessity an apologist for the apologism of the apologist? Surely one can apologise for the apologist without apologising for the apologist's apologism; if the apologist's apologies extend only generally to the apologist and not the apologist's apologism, then I don't see that the apologist for the apologist should, by necessity, be inculpated in the apologist's apologism, and while this view may be seen as apologism for the apologist of the apologist, I see no need to be apologetic.

In 2008 Kevin Myers ran a column with the title "Africa is giving nothing to anyone - apart from Aids" - and he was still being published nine years later.

Are you a Unionist, a FG West-Brit Southern Unionist or what?

You seem to have a lot of time to devote to defending these Gobsh1tes.

You knew what he meant, so why are you being obtuse?

Abuse is an appropriate word when used in relation to physical violence, sex crime and possibly severe emotional/psychological abuse, such as bullying.

Someone disagreeing with you on the internet is not 'abuse', so get a grip.

Re: West Brit History fest

^ right.

Well, in any case, the media hubbub of the last few days has been disturbing.

Kevin Myers is not a Holocaust denier. He's an idiot and professional contrarian. To see high profile Jewish media figures such as David Aaronovitch joining the pile-on has been particularly concerning.
